We’re excited to reveal the next category & sponsor for the Andover Music Awards…
Community Music Group of the Year Sponsored by Kick Start FC
This award celebrates a group or organisation that uses music to bring people together, support wellbeing, and strengthen the community. It recognises inclusivity, engagement, and the positive impact music can have on people’s lives.
We are delighted to announce that Kick Start FC will be sponsoring this category
A fantastic local charity, Kick Start FC are doing incredible work creating safe, supportive spaces where people can connect, improve their mental health, and feel part of a community. It’s brilliant to see how closely our values align.
Speaking about the partnership, they said:
“It’s great to hear how closely our values align. At Kick Start FC, we’re passionate about creating safe, supportive spaces where people can connect and improve their mental health, and it’s clear the AMA’s share that same vision through music and community. Initiatives like this are so important in helping break down stigma and bringing people together in a meaningful way.
“The Community Music Group of the Year category sounds like a fantastic fit for us, and we’d be very happy to sponsor that category.
“At Kick Start FC, we see every week how football can change lives – bringing people together, creating a sense of belonging, and giving individuals a safe space to open up and feel supported. Music carries that same powerful energy; it connects people, lifts spirits, and gives a voice to those who need it most. Supporting the Andover Music Awards feels like a natural partnership, as it celebrates the incredible role that creativity and community play in improving mental health and reminding people that they’re not alone.”
Alun Grace said:
“Community music groups play such a vital role in developing talent and bringing people together. To have Kick Start FC sponsoring this award is brilliant — it shows a real commitment to recognising the people who make music accessible, inclusive, and enjoyable for everyone.”
We’re proud to have Kick Start FC on board and can’t wait to celebrate the amazing groups making a real difference through music.
